Book review index

This is a listing of (mostly technical) book reviews.  The initial coding is
the review file name (and approximate size of the file): this is followed by
the name of the book and author(s) and a very brief description.  (Some
versions of this file may also contain listings of software reviews.)

(Information on Internet archive sites for the reviews is generally given at
the end of the file.)

                   difference between having a security policy and not having
                   one it's worth it
BKITSALV RVW  3084 "It's Alive!", Cohen, 1994, 0-471-00860-5, U$39.95 - an

                   1994, 1-56205-408-2, U$29.99/C$39.99/UK#27.49 - interesting
                   keyword indexing, but less helpful, overall, than the
                   Hahn/Stout work
BKNSDNAV RVW  2298 "Inside the Norton Antivirus", Norton/Nielsen, 1992, 0-13-

                   201-63338-8, U$47.50 - addresses the gap between OS texts
                   that don't address modern architectures and hardware books
                   that don't deal with OSes - and very well, too

                   U$29.95/C$37.95 - good command list and descriptions, but

                   123167-7, U$24.95/C$32.95 - a tad unrealistic as regards the
                   Usenet community, and an expanded but often confusing list

BKUSNINT RVW  2237 "Using the Internet", Tolhurst et al, 1994, 1-56529-353-3,
                   U$39.95/C$52.95 - no consistent audience level and tons of

                   U$4.50/C$5.50 - fiction, extremely implausible on *all*

                   0-201-62261-0, U$28.95/C$37.95 - extremely basic, could be
